Government Social Media Feeds Will Go Dark During a Shutdown

Most agency Twitter handles and other social media will go dark in the event of a government shutdown, officials said.

There’s no official list of Twitter handles and Facebook pages that will cease posting, according to tweets by the General Services Administration’s @GovNewMedia Twitter handle, which reports on government-wide social media topics. “Unless an emergency, it should be reasonably expected that most accounts will cease engaging & posting, as with other services,” the GSA said.
